Chapter 1 Flashcards
The science that deals with drugs ,their origin,composition ,pharmacokinetics,therapeutic use
Pharmacology
Aspects of pharmacology
1-pharmacokinetic
2-pharmacodynamic
3-pharmacothrputics
What the drug do to your body
Pharmacodynamic
What the body dose to the drug
Pharmacokinetic
What is the dosage form?
Solid,liquid,gas or both and the vehicle that deliver the drug
A vehicle is
Substance into which drug is compound for delivery
Types of dosage form :
1-solid:tablets ,capsules,powder,troches
2-semi-solid:gel,paste,creams,suppositories
3-liquids: solutions,syrup ,emulsion,suspension
4-gas:inhalers,aeroslos
Type of tablets:
1-sugar coated tablets
2-film coated tablets
3-multi coated tablets
4-effervescent tablets
5-Enteric-coated
Capsules are made of:
1-calcium alginate
2-gelatin
3-methyl cellouse
Homogenous mixture
Solution
Two immiscible liquid
Emulsion
Maintain uniformity
Suspension
Dissolution is
Solid substance solubilise in a solvent
Mass transfer from solid to liquid phase
Dissolution
Drug absorption is influenced by
Dissolution
Beginning of the pharmacokinetic process
Dissolution
Absorption is :
Transfer of drug from site of administration to general circulation
How dose the drug moves to the general circulation
1-passive diffusion
2-active transport
Carrier mediated process
1-active transport
2-facilitated diffusion
Example of passive diffusion
Water,water soluble,lipids,(glycerol ,urea)
From high to low concentrations
Mineral,sugar,amino acids
Active transport
Dose glucose under go passive diffusion
No
The fraction of the administration dose that reaches systemic circulation as parent drug
Bioavailability
Bioavailability determines dose required by different route of administration
True
What effect dose absorption ?
1-acid-base property
2-blood flow
3-contact time at absorption site
4-surface area available
Non polar
Lipophilic
Cross membrane better
Non ionised
Give two examples of large surfaces area of absorption
1-pulmonary alveoli
2-ridges of GI
Reversible association of drugs and plasma proteins
Plasma protein binding
Drug reservoir
Protein bound -drug
Example of plasma protein
Albumin and globulin
Active form of drugs are
Free drugs
Bound drugs are
Inactive drugs
Transfer of drugs to different organs
Distribution
Factors effect distribution
1-blood flow
2-capillaries permeability
3-drug -binding to plasma
Fast distribution
One compartment model
Has a barrier to water soluble compounds but permeable to lipid soluble
Central nervous system
Class one drugs have
Few free drugs
Class two drugs have
High free drugs
Displacement of class one drug happens when
Class two drug is administered
Removal of drugs from the body
Elimination
Elimination involves
1-metabolisation
2-excretion
Bio transformation is
Metabolism
Biochemical conversion of drugs into another form of where it may be active or inactive
Metabolism
Happens in kidney,intestines,plasma,lungs
Metabolism
